We have several programs and services available to teens, including:

Our Children’s Health Centers offer primary care “plus,” providing children in the District of Columbia with a single medical home that provides assessment, basic treatment and care resources for primary care needs, as well as for specialty care, including for mental health, asthma, dental health, teen pregnancy, obesity and more.Our pediatricians are connected to Children’s National Hospital, which is ranked #5 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.

After you have seen the specialist, your primary care provider is available to review the recommendations made and to help coordinate ongoing care for your child.
